Those who were Expos fans or followed the team during its existence will want to pick this up to learn a little more about the man who broke Canada’s heart, Rick Monday. Gallagher’s interviews and writing about Monday since that home run give the reader an inside glimpse into the man that many baseball fans have never seen.

Römische Quartalschrift für Christliche Altertumskunde und für Kirchengeschichte

Masud has given her readers a coherent and rich interpretive framework for a poet whose combination of flatness, lightness, weight, and excess have proven difficult to explain. And she has delivered this in refreshingly witty, figuratively lively prose-the work is such a pleasure to read.

Stevie Smith and the Aphorism

'Millstone silences the happy talk about business sustainability and brings the sustainability concept down to earth, literally. Brilliantly, she shows what sustainability truly requires for both individual businesses and for the economic system as a whole. Persuasively argued and well written, Frugal Value is a path-breaking synthesis that deserves an audience far beyond the business community.'
James Gustave Speth, former Dean, Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, and author of America the Possible: Manifesto for a New Economy
'Ambitious, serious, and inspiring. At last someone’s asking the right question. What will it really take to get business on a sustainable path? Millstone's unsparing critique of what passes today for "sustainable business" will provoke furious debate; her alternative lays out an agenda for business to become a real force for good. Required reading.'
Paul Gilding, Former Executive Director of Greenpeace International
'A well-informed and forthright challenge to conventional wisdom. Love it or hate it, just read it! This is the spirited debate we need today.'
Ken Webster, Head of Innovation at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation
'Corporate sustainability has made some progress over the last two decades, but nothing like enough. Carina Millstone's insightful book calls time on the 'business case rationale' for companies trying to do the right thing, and urges instead a more radical 'moral case', based on new design and operational principles.'
Jonathon Porritt, Founder Director, Forum for the Future
'Frugal Value reminds us that sustainability - despite its widespread abuse as a concept over the past 30 years - remains non-negotiable. The Planet cannot be 'traded off' for profit any more than oxygen can traded off for food. Frugal Value is a wake-up call to business leaders and sustainability practitioners alike: neither the 'business case for sustainability' nor current 'sustainable consumption and production' practices will get us anywhere near to the biodiverse and ecologically secure future we need to survive and thrive. Millstone calls attention to the elephant in the room - the current failure of so-called sustainable practices - and with skillful analysis, sketches out a more ambitious, transformational path: the imperative of redesigning our economic system and business models to achieve frugal value.'
Professor Wayne Visser, PhD, author of Sustainable Frontiers
'This tough-minded book isn’t afraid to cast aside the cherished shibboleths of sustainable business. It asks the hard questions, and points the way forward with challenging answers.'
Professor Jem Bendell, Institute For Leadership And Sustainability, University of Cumbria, UK
'A book that is unique and much needed…The title will present a new concept, but it is an important one, which I hope will be accepted into common parlance.'
Professor Neva Goodwin, Co-Director of the Global Development and Environment Institute, Tufts University
'Far from frugal, this book’s recipe for achieving customer satisfaction is through massive reduction in resource use and wide social benefit rather than by sidestepping these issues. Can’t recommend more that you read it.'
Sara Parkin, Founder Director of Forum for the Future and author of The Positive Deviant

"This book represents a wide collection of vibrant contributions on the topical issue of understanding nature and environmental challenges without remaining trapped in the horizon of the natural sciences. The book’s ambitious aim is to challenge not only the very idea of nature but also any rigid academic disciplinary framework that can prevent research from crossing both disciplinary and cultural boundaries. Thus, the collection also seeks to offer“a resolutely cross-cultural and multidisciplinary approach” that is able to include non-Western conceptions and a wide range of disciplines." - Francesco Carpanini in Environment and Society: Advances in Research Journal (2018)
"Defining nature and the various ways it features in disciplines which range from theology through geography to biology is complex, and is continually developing. Such themes and trends, involving the ever-changing relationship between nature and culture, are the subject matter of this book. The 21 contributors represent a diverse array of disciplines including philosophy, literature, history, planning, sociology, environmental humanities, social/urban geography, entomology, ecological economics and anthropology... This book is a valuable contribution to the ecological/environmental literature... It deserves a wide readership at undergraduate and postgraduate levels as well as those involved in the construction and implementation of environmental policies." - A.M. Mannion in British Ecological Society Bulletin (2017)
"One of the main strengths of this book lies in its exhaustive examination of the relationship between nature and society, with comparative analyses drawn from a wide array of domains, giving the reader a global understanding of the subject. These include ethics, spirituality, psychology, aesthetics, feminism, sociology, politics, economics, anthropology, urbanism and animal protection. In each case, the authors delve into the relationship between their discipline and the concept of ‘nature’, which has sparked a flurry of ‘eco’ disciplines (eco-feminism, eco-spirituality, eco-psychology, etc.). As a result, the book brings original insights into new, little-studied emerging disciplines." -Arnault Barichellain French Journal of Political Science (2018) [translated from the original in French]
The book is a major milestone in environmental studies because it describes the ongoing ecologization of knowledge and sheds light on the reflexive impacts of such an epistemological turn on literary and social disciplines. […] For the first time in the English-language literature, Rethinking Nature sums up the contemporary controversies and debates among environmental humanities scholars from different disciplinary and geographical backgrounds, in order to go beyond national differences and encourage new ways of studying the environment. The book is essential reading for students interested in environmental issues and in the various ideas, controversies and knowledge which have shaped environmental thought and made it such a vibrant and fruitful field." Emiliano Scanu in Natures Sciences Sociétés (2018) [translated from the original in French]

»Die Lektüre des Buches [ist] sehr zu empfehlen, denn die Beiträge bieten eine breite interdisziplinäre, internationale und vergleichende Perspektive auf Behinderung(en) im Staatsozialismus. Sie gehen dabei über den üblichen, auf die UdSSR begrenzten Fokus hinaus und verbinden – intersektionalen Ansprüchen folgend – das Label ›Behinderung‹ mit anderen sozialen Kategorien wie ›Ethnizität‹, ›Jugend‹, und „Sexualität‹. Durch die zahlreichen Informationen, die in den Einzelaufsätzen mit unterschiedlichen thematischen oder regionalen Schwerpunkten stecken, und durch die Vielfalt an Zugängen und Themen entsteht auf den über 300 Seiten Stück für Stück ein komplexes Gesamtbild zu Behinderung(en) in staatssozialistischen Ländern.« Angela Wegscheider, Soziopolis, 25.01.2022

»The strength of the volume lies in each author’s significant contribution to the overarching theme of disability history and the way in which the authors map out similarities between state socialist societies.« Radu Harald Dinu, Slavic Review, 2022
